Cholesterol will not mix with water, and therefore needs some assistance to travel throughout the blood stream. With the help of a form of cholesterol HDL (high density lipoprotein), packets of cholesterol are formed to help move cholesterol through the blood. HDL helps remove cholesterol from the body by transporting it to the liver. Another form of cholesterol is LDL (low density lipoprotein). LDL does not aid in the transportation of cholesterol out of the body, instead it deposits cholesterol onto the vessel wall. LDL molecules contain much more cholesterol than HDL molecules.
